WILTON (AP) — A 75-year-old woman spent 12 hours atop downed barbed wire after her vehicle veered off a southwest Arkansas road when she became disoriented driving home from an evening church service.

Authorities in Little River County said Nina Hinton was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries that were not life-threatening after she was rescued Thursday morning.

Sherry Hendrix and J.T. Harris, who live near where Hinton’s car left the roadway, found her at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

Harris said he heard a noise and thought it was a goat. Then, he could hear a voice saying, “Help me.”

He contacted Hendrix and she spotted Hinton.

“I told her I was sorry I missed her and didn’t hear the accident,” Hendrix told the Texarkana Gazette.

Family members alerted authorities and began searching for Hinton at about 3 a.m. Thursday after they realized she hadn’t made it home from the Wilton First Baptist Church.

Authorities said Hinton lost her way on a rainy night. She was driving on Texarkana Avenue in Wilton and thought she was traveling on state Highway 234, which also extends into Wilton.

Hinton’s sedan went down an embankment and hit a tree and limbs, which shattered her windshield. She tried to walk up a muddy embankment but slipped and landed on the barbed wire. The car couldn’t be seen from the street.

Little River County sheriff’s Sgt. Tim Brown said Hinton injured a shoulder and couldn’t get up.
